Workhorse first unveiled the W-15 in 2017, Rivian followed with the R1T less than a year later, and Tesla aims to reveal its own all-electric pickup sometime before 2020. In the interim, Atlis Motor Vehicles is putting the finishing touches on its own electric truck — the all-new XT. Unlike some of its would-be competition, the XT is banking on ability rather than accessibility. Atlis wants to offer a proper full-sized pickup that doesn’t sacrifice anything just because it’s electric. The company promises payloads of up to 5,000 pounds and a dually version capable of towing 35,000 pounds up a 6-percent grade at 65 mph. It also suggests a ludicrous maximum range, meaningful suspension options, plenty of new automotive tech, and advanced driving aids that will (of course) someday evolve into fully autonomous transportation. With specs like these, we’re feeling a little cautious. A range of 500 miles would represent a massive achievement … [Read more...] about Atlis Motor Vehicles Punts Another Electric Pickup Into the Auto Arena

Keith Roach To Your Health Published 4:37 PM EDT Oct 11, 2018 Dear Dr. Roach: In a recent column, you mentioned that “Cannabis adversely affects driving ability.” Yet, further on in the article, you state that, “Early data from areas that legalized recreational marijuana suggest reduced rates of motor vehicle accidents.” These two statements seem to contradict each other. I believe I’ve read several articles that state the vehicular accident rate in Colorado has risen since the legalization of marijuana there. I think it would be beneficial to know which is more indicative of the true effects of marijuana on a person’s driving ability. I realize that not all the information and research is complete on the use of the drug, especially in its multiple forms. Full disclosure: I am against legalizing the drug, but have no problem with its controlled use for medicinal purposes. However, you know as well as I do that many health prescribers and users … [Read more...] about Doc: Cannabis and its effect on motor vehicle accidents

BEIJING — Toyota is taking an unprecedented route to meet China's stringent green car quotas: its showrooms will sell an electric vehicle without the Japanese company's distinctive triple-oval logo. Instead, it will feature the label of GAC Motor, Toyota's Chinese partner, and will be built around GAC's lower-cost technology. The move — a first for Toyota — will give GAC access to the Japanese carmaker's stringent quality control, prestige and sales channel. For Toyota, it presents a quick way to meet Beijing's requirements that such vehicles represent 10 percent of an auto manufacturer's production by 2019. According to two company executives familiar with the matter, Toyota plans to start selling the GAC-Toyota ix4 by the end of the year. The car is a battery-powered compact SUV based on GAC's Trumpchi GS4, and has been in development for two years. Selling a car derived from a Chinese partner's vehicle would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. But the idea … [Read more...] about Toyota will roll into China’s EV market in a GAC Motor vehicle

The cost for private vehicle registration, ownership transfer and driver’s license application for foreigners will be raised between 50% to 200%, and it will be effective beginning April 16, 2018. This involves all motor vehicles from Class B1 and B2 motorcycles, as well as Class D vehicles, as reported by Berita Harian. Deputy minister of transport Datuk Ab Aziz Kaprawi said the decision on the hike was made by the Cabinet, and added that there has been no revision in the fees since the country’s independence in 1957. He said the initiative will also raise the country’s GDP without burdening Malaysians. “Beginning April 16, the government will implement the new fees involving private vehicle registration, vehicle ownership transferral and driver’s license application to all foreigners residing in the country,” said Aziz. This means that the cost to register a motorcycle under 500 cc and above 500 cc in Sabah will be RM100, and in Sarawak it costs … [Read more...] about Foreigners to pay 50% to 200% more for local motor vehicle registration

The Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) will close Thursday, March 22 to Monday, March 26, as the department implements a new computer system. All non-public safety services will be unavailable during this time. After more than 30 years with the current system, it was time for an upgrade. The new computer system, according to the RMV, will provide a faster and easier customer experience in all capacities: in person, on the web, by mail, and by phone. The RMV is also changing its website URL from massrmv.com to mass.gov/rmv. The new system, called ATLAS, will feature a complete redesign of the customer web portal, offering 13 new online transactions. ATLAS will also issue federally mandated REAL ID credentials, a federal standard that was established as a result of increased security measures following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Starting at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 22 to 8 a.m. on Monday, March 26, these RMV services will be unavailable: All RMV service centers closed No … [Read more...] about The Registry of Motor Vehicles will temporarily close later this week
